How many teams rely on zone blocking vs power blocking? Zone blockings bread and butter play NEEDS to chop block.

If they do anything they will keep the chop block at the LOS and try to limit the others._________________

In the NFL News version of this topic, someone made a great point-what about goal-line stands? Basically everybody on both sides of the ball at the LOS is submarining to be the lowest. You would end up with 18 guys getting flagged at the same time for going low._________________

But isn't the chop at the LOS the main point of the problem?

No.

It's the higher impact collisions that occur upfield, particularly against "defenseless" players and on kickoffs.

I doubt they'd eliminate the RB cutting the blitzing LB..

I hate cut blocking at the LOS as much as the next guy, but when executed correctly it is neither unsafe nor dirty. It really is surprising how few of the big uglies get their knees tore up because of that technique. Usually they get Gilberted when it's the kness involved.

honestly they are saying this yet they kept in the wierd rule where its okay to do this to an engaged player as long as you started 1 spot over from said player pre-snap. This is what the ravens have been doing to our o-line the past couple years. So maybe that will bring back the old 3-4 style we still use.

They didn't "keep it in".

That has always been the rule. There have been no recent changes to the rules regarding blocks below the waist either on the LOS or otherwise._________________
